How I Met Her

It all started on the streets of Twitter, yes, that same place where people argue about Owambe and post inspirational quotes they don’t follow. I was just minding my business, looking for ideas for media-related content, when I stumbled on this small account that said “Adventurous Traveler • Content Creator.”
I thought, “Ah, see something new!” So I clicked the profile.
I saw pictures. I saw vibes. I saw potential. But I behaved myself. I quietly scrolled away before my village people would accuse me of online scouting.
One day, I tweeted something about faith, and suddenly I saw a like… and a reply… from that same account. I noticed it, but I didn’t pay too much attention. After all, Twitter is like Lagos traffic, anything can happen. But, there is always a “but,” lol, I didn’t just scroll away. I reached out.
I sent a DM to know more: What was her specialty? What pulled her into content creation? What kind of stories did she love telling? Just normal creative-to-creative conversation.
We chatted a bit, nothing too serious, just friendly, light, and harmless.
Fast forward many weeks later, I went to church, minding my own business again (as usual), when I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder.
“Hi Theophilus… this is Victoria, the Nigerian Gypsy. The person you’ve been chatting with on Twitter.”
My brain: Who? From where? How? My mouth: “Ohhhh, nice to meet you!” (Professional acting.)
I honestly didn’t recognize her at all, but I played along like an Oscar nominee. I told her to send me a DM when she got home. She said she would, and she actually did.
That evening, we started chatting properly. Our conversations picked up naturally. “Who sent you to like my tweet?” (Okay, I didn’t ask that one… yet.) What started as small chats became full-on gist.
From “How was your day?” to “How’s work going?” to long talks about media, adventure, creativity, and random life stories.
And just like that, late-night chats became our thing. We realized we had so much in common, adventure, media, creativity, and small small stubbornness.
From there, friendship started growing, slowly, quietly, and very intentionally.
And somewhere in the middle of those conversations, I started seeing traits I had prayed for in a wife: her kindness, her maturity, her calm spirit, her passion, her faith. It wasn’t emotional excitement; it was clarity. So I prayed about it, asked God for confirmation, and the peace I received gave me the confidence to approach her with certainty.
Before we knew it, late-night chats turned into daily conversations, inside jokes, shared goals, and that soft, unspoken feeling that something deeper was happening.
While I was always traveling between Lagos and Warri, we kept talking. Fatigue couldn’t stop us. Traffic couldn’t stop us. NEPA definitely couldn’t stop us.
Along the line, I jokingly told her she was wife material. She smiled… and didn’t say anything. That silence was suspicious, but I kept my cool.
Long story short, one day the big question came out:
“Will you marry me?”
And she said yes.
I’ll spare you the full gist, but let’s just say, it started with a tweet, and now we’re here, building a life together with God at the center.
What started with a tweet became a friendship, and what started as friendship became… well, you know, you know.

How I Met Him

I met Theophilus on Twitter. Yeah that same twitter where it feels like nothing positive comes out of it these days, that’s where I met my Prince Charming man of God.
I had seen Theophilus a few times on the DL conversation space, there was something about him that kept drawing me but I refused to allow that thing to draw me o cause I would rather mop an ocean than make the first move.
I’m really not one to pay close attention to people but somehow i started seeing him more due church services when he’s handling the camera or after service when he’s saying hello to people.
Again there was something about him, I could see a mix of sadness and uncertainty in his eyes yet peaceful. Did i approach him? Absolutely not.
On a few occasions when we chatted on twitter I would tell him I saw him in church and he would say why didn’t you say hello? And I’d make up a good excuse.
On 1st October 2023, I saw him in church. He was standing right in front of me. I stood there wondering if I should say hello or just sneak passed again and text him later saying “hey, I saw you today in church”
Then I decided to say hello, I tapped him on the shoulder and when he turned I said “hello Theophilus, I’m Victoria AKA @the_nigerian_gypsy or gistpartner. I knew he wasn’t going to recognize me, my face change everyday. And just like I suspected he didn’t know me, he apologized and asked if I could send him a dm on Twitter to place a name to the face. I said okay but deep down I knew i wasn’t going to text him.
Later that evening, I was scrolling through twitter and I saw a tweet from him. I spent another 10-15mins contemplating if I wanted him to know me since I was keeping a low profile on Twitter. Well i eventually texted him and the excitement that followed was unmatched, then he wouldn’t stop apologizing for not recognizing me earlier.
And from October 2nd 2023 till date this man has never stopped texting me. His consistency was the major thing that stood out for me, through the good times and the bad times he is always consistent.
I remember when I was younger and I and my friends would be talking about “Ideal Man” and I would always say A kind man, one who would show up for me everyday regardless of anything, a man that would respect me, a prayerful partner (I had seen how my father stood in the gap for his family, I wanted even more) and I would say he doesn’t need to be too handsome, he doesn’t need to even know how to dress cause that’s where I come in. I will handle it and God heard my heart desires, he gave me MINE, the one I prayed and waited for.
